The threaded shank is then forced through the aperture 6 of the lugl 5 and the nut 14 is tted thereon and threaded up on the bolt until the desired clamping action is obtained and the nipple B is'rigidly held against'displacement from the section of the hose A, as clearly shown in Fig. l.

1t is to be understood that the slots 3 and 4 in the clamp l are adapted to have squeezed or forced therein by pressure, portions of the material from which the hose section is made, thus preventing circumferential or longitudinal movement of the clamp with relation thereto.

What is claimed is:

A hose clamp comprising a'band formed of a single length of bendable material having overlapped ends, the outer overlapped end having its terminal bent upwardly to provide an apertured lug, a pair of transversely arranged relatively spaced apertured lugs formed integrally with the exterior of and extending laterally from the inner overlapped end adjacent the terminal thereof, and a T-shaped bolt having its head removably arranged in the apertured lug of the inner overlapped end and its shank extending through the apertured lug of the outer overlapped end7 and means adjustably itted on the shank of the bolt to draw the overlapped ends toWard one another to facilitate the clamping of the band upon a hose section.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
